I've tried my best to get qmake to work in both windows and mac but nothing worked. Unfortunately, qt has no installation steps for qmake. This is what I did
First, I installed qt (no problems). It seems that qt doesn't include the path of the proper bin folder in environment variables in windows, so I did include that however I'm not sure which the proper folder to get qmake to work. qmake.exe appears in many folders and one of them is
C:\Qt\5.1.1\msvc2010\bin
After adding it, Visual Studio command prompt recognizes qmake command. So far so good. The next step I did follow qmake tutorial and I did the following
I've created four files
hello.cpp
hello.h
main.cpp
hello.pro
main.cpp
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
|
#include "hello.h"
int main()
{
print();
return 0;
}
|
hello.cpp
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
|
#include <iostream>
#include "hello.h"
void print()
{
std::cout << "QMake!" << std::endl;
}
|
hello.h
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
|
#ifndef HELLO_H
#define HELLO_H
void print();
#endif
|
hello.pro
1 2 3 4
|
CONFIG += debug
HEADERS += hello.h
SOURCES += hello.cpp
SOURCES += main.cpp
|
I opened visual studio command prompt and I typed (as the documentation says)
>qmake -o Makefile hello.pro
This line created the following files
debug folder
release folder
Makefile
Makefile.debug
Makefile.Release
Now, I invoked nmake to create the executable file
>nmake

in debug folder there is hello.exe but the problem it doesn't work. Every time I run it nothing happens.
What I'm missing here?
